   nobody with a clue in Russia thought the war was going to end in 3 days unless Kiev surrendered immediately. winning in 3 days by force? retarded, impossible
   
   the Russian 3 day war was a fantasy conjured up by RAND -- an American thinktank -- in 2016 based on an entirely different scenario with an entirely different objective
   
   incredible that people still repeat that nonsense but of course, despite three years of conventional war to study, the layman remains almost entirely ignorant war. I've begun to think it's a subject most people simply cannot comprehend and reason about at all

     @deprecated_ii YOURE MOSTLY CORRECT AND I AGREE WITH THIS TAKE BUT YOU KNOW WHO SURRENDERED WITHIN 3 DAYS WITH LIMITED FIGHTING? SYRIA.

     @CrustyBurgerhead @deprecated_ii Ok in the begining, poles fought imperial slavs and imperial germans. They dont like either. Poland 1 died and got cut into pieces like Austria-Hungary and other weird bits.
     
     AusHgy took part in ww1 and died. That original bit of poland 1 that contained current day kiev decided to go independent. They call themselves ukraine.
     
     Poles also somehow decided to make poland 2. They wanted to take back kiev before turning back round to fight germans. So they decided to invade east and attack ukraine. Poles make it known they hate slavs and start fucking with the slav civil war. (Royals vs soviets)
     
     So the soviets after finishing the infighting came for the slav bit. For some reason ukes decided to fight slavs instead and teamed up with poland 2.
     
     Ukes got absorbed into soviet land. Poles got routed back to their ww1 zone. Now the slavs wary of the polish problem.
     
     Ww2 about to kick off. Germans and soviets decide not to fuck with each other and divide up poland 2 instead.
     
     Poles knew they cant win and no one backs them, so they gave up without much fighting.
     
     Project that onto today. Soviets decided in their mental fog to make "ukraine" a thing again. Dies. Ukriane starts to fight slavs. Poland 3 supports the shit out of it waiting for their turn to invade "lwow" and make poland 4.
     
     Isnt nature amazing.

     Didn't the Pollacks surrender to Germany with their horse-drawn cannons within, like, a few days?

     @IAMAL_PHARIUS @CrustyBurgerhead @deprecated_ii "Poles knew they cant win and no one backs them, so they gave up without much fighting" Except absolutely not. Poles caused great losses on the German side and after it created one of the biggest and effective partisan armies in Europe.

     @Mishuk @CrustyBurgerhead @deprecated_ii Brother from beginning to end poland lasted 5 weeks. Government ran off. Mass surrender of troops to germans and soviets.
     
     >We caused german losses.
     Yea sure but not enough to dissuade them of everything right after.
     >Biggest counter invasion movement
     
     Sorry man they barely register to the either side. Most contributions by partisans are war propaganda.
     
     Poland 2 history is analogous to current day ukraine. Being neighbours with military powers and way overestimating their own capabilities. This is why they get annexed every single time.
